A Bit of Python for Your Thursday

Share:

Hi, friends: I love me some Monty Python’s Flying Circus, as most intelligent people do. I’ve seen each episode a kabillion times, but I sometimes forget about the more obscure sketches. Here are four of my very favorites that deserve more recognition than they get.

The Silliest Interview Sketch

Who hasn’t wanted to say “This is the least interesting conversation I’ve ever had” to someone?

Ovine Aviation

Silliness AND a French lesson.

Tin vs Wood

Making fun of posh people is always hysterical.

And finally…

Election Night Special

Makes me want to change my name to Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F’tang-F’tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel.

Hope these made the thing on the front of your head happy. Hooray for things!!

Awww I was really hoping you would put up Dennis Moore! “He steals from the rich! and gives to the poor! Dennis Moore! Dennis Moore! Dum dum dum!” “Give me all your lupins!!” And I love the cat that chokes on lupins!! xD HAHAHAHAHA Or Gambol Putty Devon..of Ulm.Yeah I don’t know it all by heart but some day Chris…Someday.. : )

The Science Fiction Sketch was the very first Monty Python episode I saw as a young lad and it won me over right from the start. “Which nation is the worst tennis playing nation?” “Australia.” “No no try again.” “Australia?” “No no try again but say a different place.”

At every conceivable opportunity, I direct people to ‘Science Fiction Sketch’; I think enough people have declared it a favorite for it to not be considered too obscure, but as it occupies nearly 2/3 of an entire episode, it’s not your average sketch, either.
